When it matters

Our sump pump repair coverage in Idaho runs to 135 ZIP codes in 84 cities. A state with both built storm systems and open ground produces two different kinds of pump failure, and which one a house is exposed to is decided by what is under the basement floor rather than by the weather.

What this site is

Pit and Pump is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and a discharge connection is usually a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

Checking a credential in Idaho

Idaho licenses are issued by the Idaho State Plumbing Board, Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins.

What that coverage looks like

Of the 135 ZIP codes we cover in Idaho, 35 are in Ada County and 28 in Boise. Storms do not respect that distribution: a single night's rain across 18 counties produces far more pump calls than any contractor can answer at once, which is the argument for testing yours in the dry.

How a sump pump repair job goes

A sump pump is tested by filling the pit, not by listening to it. The float has to lift, the pump has to start, the check valve has to hold and the discharge has to run clear of the house. Any of those four can fail silently and none of them announces itself until the night the pump is needed.

What the call asks about sump pump repair

Whether the pump runs at all when the float is lifted by hand.
Where the discharge goes, and whether it is frozen, blocked or running back into the pit.
Whether there is a battery backup, and when it was last tested.

Every Idaho city we route in

13 cities, ordered by the share of housing built before 1970. Basements, and the groundwater under them, are a function of when and how the housing was built. Each page carries that city’s own numbers and the ZIP codes we route there.

Before you call

A pump is tested by pouring water into the pit, not by listening for it. The pages above say what to check and how often.
